The Officials Shaping Brazil’s Betting Framework Join SBC Summit Rio 2026

As Brazil’s regulated betting market takes shape, the officials responsible for drafting and enforcing the new rules will address the industry directly at SBC Summit Rio.

Taking place at Riocentro from 3–5 March, the 2026 edition will place regulation firmly at the centre of its agenda. Dedicated sessions will focus on licensing, enforcement, marketing standards, payments oversight, integrity, and institutional cooperation.

The summit will welcome senior representatives from Brazil’s leading government bodies, regulatory institutions, and enforcement authorities, including:

Ministério da Fazenda

Ministério do Esporte
Superior Tribunal de Justiça
Serviço Federal de Processamento de Dados
Polícia Federal
Conselho de Controle de Atividades Financeiras

By placing these authorities directly within the programme, SBC Summit Rio offers delegates first-hand insight into the priorities shaping Brazil’s regulated betting market and the compliance expectations that will define its next phase of growth.

A keynote setting the regulatory tone

The regulatory focus will open with the keynote session, The Making of a Regulated Market, headlined by two of the most influential figures shaping Brazil’s federal betting framework: Daniele Correa Cardoso, Acting Secretary of Prizes and Betting at the Ministry of Finance, and Giovanni Rocco, National Secretary of Sports Betting and Economic Development of Sport at the Ministry of Sport.

The keynote will provide a clear and comprehensive breakdown of Brazil’s regulated betting framework, outlining the priorities stakeholders must address now and what it will take to build sustainable, long-term growth as the market matures. The session will be moderated by Andre Gelfi, Managing Partner Brazil at Betsson and President of the Instituto Brasileiro de Jogo Responsável.

As Acting Secretary of the Secretariat of Prizes and Betting within the Ministry of Finance, Daniele Correa Cardoso plays a central role in shaping the regulatory structure for fixed-odds betting, including licensing requirements and compliance standards.

Giovanni Rocco leads the National Secretariat of Sports Betting and Economic Development of Sport at the Ministry of Sport, where he is responsible for aligning betting policy with broader initiatives designed to strengthen and support Brazil’s sporting ecosystem.

Rasmus Sojmark, CEO and Founder of SBC, stated that the keynote will help delegates better understand what regulators aim to achieve, enabling companies to align their strategies early and build operations that are both engaging for players and sustainable for the long term.
